Bayesian Optimization for Controlled Image Editing via LLMs

In the rapidly evolving field of image generation, achieving precise control over generated content and maintaining semantic consistency remains a crucial limitation, particularly concerning grounding techniques and the necessity for model fine-tuning. To address these challenges, we propose BayesGenie, an off-theshelf approach that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with Bayesian Optimization to facilitate precise and user-friendly image editing. Our method enables users to modify images through natural language descriptions without manual area marking, while preserving the original image's semantic integrity. Unlike existing techniques that require extensive pretraining or fine-tuning, our approach demonstrates remarkable adaptability across various LLMs through its model-agnostic design. BayesGenie employs an adapted Bayesian optimization strategy to automatically refine the inference process parameters, achieving highprecision image editing with minimal user intervention. Through extensive experiments across diverse scenarios, we demonstrate that our framework outperforms existing methods in both editing accuracy and semantic preservation, as validated using different LLMs including Claude3 and GPT-4.
